Bio

"When coming to a university, students have a variety of expectations in regards to what a higher-learning environment will be like. Throughout my journey at Morehead State University, my knowledge of theatre has been expanded and I have grown as an artists through the encouragement of my professors and the friendly atmosphere that our department has established. I have been presented multiple hands-on opportunities with acting, design, and management which allows for me to confidently embrace my future as I prepare to embark on the next journey life presents me. Morehead State University's Department of Music, Theatre and Dance not only met my expectations, it exceeded them."

Music Education Major, Waddy, KY "Morehead State is like a second home to me. The people are friendly and welcoming. The teachers are great at helping you when you're in need and they know their stuff! The program is one of the best in the state but they don't flaunt it, they own it and keep working hard and I love that!"
